The BBC is expected to scrap the remainder of the current Top Gear TV series after allegations that presenter Jeremy Clarkson punched a producer.

The broadcaster said Clarkson, 54, had been suspended after what it called a "fracas" and has confirmed Sunday's episode of Top Gear will not be shown.

It is understood the two final episodes in the series will also be dropped.

An online petition calling for the BBC to "reinstate" Clarkson has been signed by almost 250,000 people.

It was started on Tuesday afternoon by political blogger Guido Fawkes.

Clarkson has not issued a statement, but has been joking on Twitter about films that could replace Sunday's show.

The Sun newspaper, in which Clarkson writes a regular column, quotes him as saying: "I'm having a nice cold pint and waiting for this to blow over." It also quotes a "source close to the star" denying Clarkson punched anyone.

Fair enough if you sont like him
I just think it unfair to judge someone on a couple of things they say

I also wouldn't accept it from an English household where they had fried food and chips and their house smelled like fat.

Honest?
Rude?
Racist?

 Yes my dear rude, inconsiderate and racist to.   Sorry that had to be done.  

Has to be admitted clarksown has made me laugh, a few times but he has always oozed of self opinionated, over spoilt jerk to me. Liked may, but as he hangs out with the jerk off of all men, so I sometimes wonder about him as well.


Honest?
Rude?
Racist?

Your quite correct people tend to smell of what they eat the most
for example
i used to deliver takeaways one Chinese take away i worked for was ran my mr & mrs chan she always used to say when this subject came up i and the other drivers smelled like sour milk(the Chinese are not big milk drinkers)me especially(i do drink gallons of the stuff)

another example
Is when i go hill walking in the summer, i eat a lot of garlicky food as it keeps the midges away
you are what you eat

Oh do stop,it sass! He's made a silly remark - doesn't make him a racist!!
How do you know if he's a racist???

That word is too bloody over-used. I called a skinny boy a Cambodian once. My teacher called me a racist and wrote a letter home to my mum.
Want to know what my mum said?

"I'd hardly call my daughter a racist. She's many things but a racist?? She's currently dating a black boy and my husband would rather she didn't...would you call her racist?"


Pack it in. He's a regular person sassy. Regular and ordinary and probably a lot less racist than some do-gooders who pretend they're not racist but secretly hoping a black family don't move in next door. They're the worst kind.
They're CLOSET racists and they're far more racist than Clarkson who said the word "n---er" in a rhyme
I used to say that when I was a kid. Big deal. It's a rhyme. Even the black kids used to say it.

I bet your one of those lefties that call children born to a black dad and white mum "mixed race"

well it looks like he was on a final warning after last year. and this seems to be about him punching someone which isn't on under any circumstances.

he does make a habit of saying nasty things eds - it isn't a one off, and yes hes putting it out in the public on the taxpayers dime so yes he should judged on what he says and how he acts.

tell me why do you see this differently from the Amanda Holden picture fiasco?

He's a jumped up twat who likes to insult people, in fact goes out of his way to do it, and I think calling someone a 'n---er' (did you read ALL of his gaffes) and going out of his way to deliberately upset a whole nation (Argentina) when they had welcomed him are the actions of a nasty piece of work.   I think calling him a 'regular bloke' seriously insults 'regular blokes'.

Right. Exactly.

But you won't find anyone who's "left" on here EVER EVER say what I just said.
They would be scared to come across as racist. I am telling you.

On the subject of Clarkson, I wish I had the type of life where I could punch my boss and have a quarter-million people sign a petition to let me keep my job ...

Eddie, depended on the food it can seep more so into the pores of the skin leaving higher levels of smell. Certain food tyypes do this, it does not mean the person smells more, just the food types they eat are more activelly odur wise within our body systems espcially our skins
Just because a cultural group of people eat a food, does not mean to others they smell, in fact to them that smell could well be appealling where it is not appealling to you. What you are saying is it right to say someone smells?
Someone may find the perfume you wear repulsive and think you are someone very smelly in their eyes for example. It is a conjective view point based on your own taste.
Is it inconsiderate and rude is more the point you are asking than any racist view point but you are certainly making a very poor sterotype to claim many do smelly,w hich I would beg to differ. These are how bad sterotypes are formed, you see some Jews have larger noses (even though you find the same in many ethnic groups) then the view sticks that Jews have large noses, it becomes a very racial view point. So I doubt you will find many people left or right making such a statement about groups of ethnic people because  for one it is a view that fails to factor in biology or the fact this is based on your own distastes.

i like him ...i like him very much ,maybe its because i was brought up in the same area as him and i understand his humour
no he is not PC but the previous warnings he got where to my mind forced by the media

the n---er comment was one mumbled intelligibly and not broadcast anyway and was from one of the takes
i am 52 i was taught that rime with the use of "n---er" in it ,yes its bad now
but childhood rhymes are hard to forget ,the fact he mumbled it was indication to me he tried to avoid saying it while i suspect trying to thing of a alternative on the spot.
he failed did a retake with some thought
it was a totally bullshit complaint IMO that had to be dug up from out takes


slope
till all the who ha ha i had never even heard the term in the way it was described
I watched the program heard the comment ,did not even see the guy on the bridge and the bridge did slope to one side
i and i suspect most others did not even make the connection

Number plates

OFFS
what do people think he went out looking for number plates for that car ?
no he is the talent the last thing he would be involved in is the shooting logistics and permit applications for filming  or making the cars legal to drive in what ever country they are in

I get it some people don't like him i have no problem with that, i dislike 99.9% of all soap opera stars but people look for an excuse to dump on him and blow up things out of all proportions

Some people smell and some don't. I made a point of mentioning fried food too.

Not elaborating on this point didge. I've made my point about it. It isn't racist to say Pakistanis eat food that make their smell not appeal to me.

I also dislike certain brands of aftershave. Same thing.

eddie wrote:Yes Didge. some people like shit most dont.

This isn't going anywhere.

No one but ben has actually been honest enough to admit they wouldn't take soft furnishings that stank of a certain smell, ie curry or fried food or even smoke

I'm not actually debating this point anymore as its veering off the subject I wish to debate.
I merely brought it up,as I knew no one would answer it.
